Ramkhamhaeng National Park

Ramkhamhaeng National Park is a national park in Sukhothai Province covering about 341 square kilometers. The area includes the Khao Luang Mountain Range with several peaks, from which water flows through various tributaries to farmland.

The Royal Forest Department surveyed the Khao Luang area in 1974, leading to its establishment as Thailand's 18th national park on October 27, 1980. This recognition protected a region that had been significant to people for centuries.

The park borders the Sukhothai Historical Park, where structures from the 13th century show how people lived during that era. You can see how the ancient city and nature were connected through daily life.

Multiple hiking trails, camping areas, and information centers allow visitors to explore the different ecosystems. Mountains, waterfalls, and forests offer varied routes and difficulty levels for different experiences.

The park's name refers to King Ramkhamhaeng, who created the Sukhothai Inscription I in the 13th century, which documents a connection to this natural region. This historical link shows how long the area has held meaning for people.
